Flowering Shrubs: Sensational Spring Color

Spring Flowering shrubs burst upon landscape when we need them most. Fulfilling the promise of spring these shrubs provide floral color after Old Man Winter’s icy grip. Deciduous spring flowering shrubs are the easiest group of shrubs to grow and have been favorites for a long time. They are tough, durable, and will tolerate a wide range of conditions. They will grow in full sun or part shade, but require a minimum of 6 hours of sun in order to produce flowers. Once established these shrubs are very drought tolerant and require minimal care. Best of all, they provide spectacular flowers. The following are TLC Garden Centers’ recommendations.
